This frame with real owl pellet bone artwork has been made with real bones found through wild owl pellets, from shrews, voles, mice and occasionally small birds. I've made this memento mori style display with an ornate key, shrew bones and mouse bones. The frame is finished with a tiny rose and a portrait of a Victorian baby. displayed on a textured dark blackberry coloured background. I've also added 2 small butterflies made out of bones.

Each design is one of a kind!

I've dissected each owl pellet and cleaned and the bones. Then the bones go through the whitening process. After that, they are carefully sorted into sections for different bone types. These art displays are then created with the cleaned bones. Each one is situated on the background using tweezers. Lastly, I come up with a design as I go along and they are each individually glued down.

Keep in mind that some bones retain their natural bone colour. I like to keep these natural elements in my art.

The frame measures approximately 8" x 8", is free standing and has a hanging feature in the back.

The glass has been taken out for the photos, this will be put back in before shipping.
